Just think about those items you use when doing your research. Will they be on sale during the “school sales”? If so, take advantage and stock up!

Another thing to start thinking about: Genealogy classes this next summer.
Samford University in Birmingham has an excellent genealogy session. You can get a whole weeks worth of classes, food and housing for about $400. Now is the time to start planning for Samford, or the genealogy conferences coming up. Do you have family who wonder what to give you for Christmas or a birthday? Let them know you would love to attend a genealogy class.

Now that the kids are in school, why not consider taking a genealogy class online? Genclass.com has some wonderful classes. The National Genealogy Society offers a great course in beginning and intermediate genealogy. Whether you are researching for yourself or as a professional, these classes can greatly benefit your genealogical research. Brigham Young University offers family history classes. BYU also offers an online genealogy conference that you can subscribe to.

Now that the kids are in school, you may find that extra time to volunteer at your local family history center or genealogy society. They can always use the extra hands and are willing to train you in what needs to be done.

Schooltime is here, and hopefully you can educate yourself alongside your children!
